Is there any type of homeowners insurance that will pay for the maintenance?
sherry c asked:
A friend was telling me that if you are buying a home and have homeowners insurance and you have maintenance problems (roof needs repairing or replacing, water heater goes out, etc) that the insurance will pay for this. He also said that if you needed smaller repairs (plumbing, etc) that would be the homeowners responsibility. I thought anything that went wrong with the home , if you were buying, would be your responsibility.

How do I dispute a partial denial of a homeowners insurance claim?
Lisa asked:
There was a hail storm in our area and may (most) homes had roof damage, including mine. 95% of the homes in my subdivision have gotten new roofs from homeowners insurance claims. However, my adjuster said my roof was not damaged “enough” to warrant a new roof, only repair/patching to the back side of the roof. I have Allstate and so do several neighbors. Their claims were paid, in full, with now questions asked. The difference between my claim and theirs is the adjuster. They all had a different one than me. I have called and written the main office locally and the corporate office in Illinois, to no avail. They tell me my only recourse is to take them to court.
